Something Saturday - Diagonal Cut Card x 2

-

Hi there Creators,

I received a gorgeous card from Lee-Allan (one of my Stampin' Up! downline), and I loved the layout of it, so she gave me permission to "case" is Case stand for "Copy and Share Everything".

Before I get going, I forgot to mention in the video, there is an amazing joining special for the month of May, where you can get the usual $235 of goodies for $169, but ALSO you get the New In Colour: Ink Pads, Stampin' Write Markers, Designer Paper, and A4 papers I think it worked out to $124 of extra goodies for free!!  if you want to find out more let me know, or go here:  Join Heather's Team

Here is her card:  How gorgeous is this using the new Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper?

Stampin' Up!, Mediterranean Blooms DSP

Having inspected it thoroughly (as you do), I decided actually if I'm making one, then it really needs to be 2 (which is possibly what you're meant to do!)  read on for my measurements.......

Then I did a trial run myself with some old retired Designer Paper (never to soon to start making Christmas Cards 🤣) also managed to use up some of my scraps I had lying around the desk!

Stampin' Up! Diagonal Cut card
then I embarked on the video, and decided to use this gorgeous Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper  I did discover that it's best to cover up the join at the top and it doesn't look fabulous, having said that it doesn't take much to do so, and it does add a pretty "extra".
Stampin' Up! Meandering Meadows DSP, Diagonal cut card

Righty ho - on to measurements:

Base Card is A5 scored at 10.5cm and folded in 1/2 (which has a front of 10.5cm x 14.8cm)

Then the mat on top is 5mm shorter so: 10cm x 14.3cm (but don't attach this till you've added the DSP Designer Series Paper)

You'll need a piece of A6 (14.8cm x 10.5cm) to initially attach the DSP to.

DSP is cut to 13.8cm x 9.5cm then you put both pieces together and cut as shown in the photo below (just bear in mind you need 2 contrasting pieces of DSP) again retired DSP

Once you've got it cut take 3 matching pieces of DSP and add them to the colour you've chosen to "mat" them with, then cut them down, so there is a border, as shown:

stick it all together (the pieces with borders go on top of the other piece, and up on dimensionals)



 Hopefully that makes sense!

If you missed the video, here it it😃


I hope this inspires you to have a go too!

God Bless love

GDP #261

 Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done)   So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently  I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work?  anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol)  I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours.  The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper !  I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

-

 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t...
